mom fashion translation

The next time you see a woman who doesn't look quite right, she's probably a mom of twoddlers.  Or at least a mom.  Here are a few tips as to what probably went down as she left the house, not that I'm speaking from experience or anything...

• Hair in a ponytail or bedhead or a day or two past washday - who has time for hair?!
• Something crusty on her sleeve, or mid-thigh on her pants - sweet snuggles from the twoddler who just had breakfast or a runny nose or both
• Flip-flops or other house shoes with work suit - rush to get kids ready, rush to get self ready, rush to get out the door and forgot to switch to big girl shoes.
• Mismatched jacket/skirt suit combo - accidentally grabbed the wrong one and didn't realize the mistake until after having said goodbye to the kids, causing them to wail, and switching out the jacket for the correct one would require "leaving" the twoddlers again, and who wants to experience that heartbreak TWICE in one morning?
• Stickers, marker stains, dried up Play-Doh on back or shoulder - managed to find 10 extra minutes this morning to play with the twoddlers and embraced the insanity that is twoddler playtime with reckless abandon. 

No pics for this one, too embarrassing...
